1. Introduction to FGT_4800F-v7.0.13.M-build6912-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.0.13M for FortiGate 4800F hyperscale firewalls, specifically engineered to address critical vulnerabilities in distributed cloud environments while optimizing hyperscale network operations. Released in Q2 2025, build 6912 implements NIST SP 800-207 Rev.4 zero trust controls and enhances threat intelligence integration through FortiGuard AI-driven security services.
Designed for enterprise data centers and cloud service providers, the FortiGate 4800F series achieves 1.8 Tbps firewall throughput with this update, making it essential for organizations requiring FedRAMP High compliance. The “M” designation indicates enhanced malware analysis capabilities via FortiSandbox 7.6.5+ integration with improved API-driven threat intelligence sharing.
